Terrier Answered.

P.J. Ryan, winner of the horseshoe
ing contest at the Washington rink,
Minneapolis, writes the GLOBE as fol-
lows in answer to the remarks of Charles
Ferrier, who officiated as judge for
Brewer:
In regard to Terriers statement that
the referees decision was unfair, l
would say that the shoes were not
''barred" until the contest was over. As
to my ''cross-eyed" punch, it takes a
mechanic to use one. They tried it and
failed in the attempt. Furthermore, the
same kind of tool was used by j. Camp
bell in the Dunn and Campbell match at
Buffalo, n. Y land think Mr.. Campbell
is as good mechanic as Judge Fer
rier. consider it unjust and ungentle-
manly for Mr.. Terrier to call Mr.. Mum
roe, our referee, plowmaker, title
which he has himself heretofore claimed.
Finally, did complete 100 horse shoes.

other hand, was hit quite hard at times,
and the great wonder is that twelve hits
did not yield more than one run. Peak

pretty fly catches. st. Paul had men on
bases in every one of the eight innings,
but was extremely unlucky. Cleveland

that he threw wild, the runner going to

home with hit to right. In the last
half of the eighth inning Patton and
Foster went out, and Winkleman got to
first on ball hit to short too slow to
field. AT this point it began to rain so
hard that it was impossible to play
longer, so the game was suspended and
no disposition to let up. The score is

A few days ago two ball mines COM
posed of boys were playing match
game, and in place of bat were using
an old discarded coal shovel handle. The
game had become intensely exciting,
and the opposing nine had what they
termed a slugger at the bat. Two run
ners occupied the bases, and three
strikes had been called on the ''slugger."
The next ball pitched the ''slugger"
banged away, and at the call of his en-
thusiastic captain ran down to first, then
to second, third and home, keeping the
shovel handle in his hand all the way
round. The nine having the field and
spectators, from the time the ''slugger"
had struck the ball, were, in the mean
while, looking for the sphere, but did
not discover its whereabouts until the
runner showed it to the umpire wedged
fast in the hand-grip of the shovel. Of
course there was much kicking INDUCED
in at the discovery, but the umpire de-
cided it home run,

CHICAGO STRIKES.
A Crisis Imminent in the Building
Trades Troubles.

A Crisis Imminent in the Building
Trades Troubles.
CHICAGO, May 3O.-The next six days
are liable to witness the critical period
in the great strike of the building
trades. For four weeks strike has fol-
lowed strike, terminating in lockout
affecting, to greater OF less extent, al
most every trade in the city of Chicago.
Fully 1900 men are idle, and it is stated
class mechanics have left the city. A
careful estimate shows that wages to
the amount of 100000 have been lost to
the strikers. 1t is impossible to estimate
the amount of capital which has been
diverted from the building trades.
Well known Eastern capitalists have
instructed their Chicago agents to make
no investments pending the adjustment
of the strike, and in several cases large
enterprises will be dropped until next
year, and perhaps forever. The
master masons, realizing that SO
long as the trades unions were governed
by their present laws and customs the
strike was likely to be duplicated at any
time, resolved to make supreme effort
to force the abolition of the abuses of
WHICH Iilcy are couSplCdOuS VlcblnS.
The code of principles and working
rules adopted would, if enforced, result
in the complete abolition of the unions
as now constituted. The developments
of the last week have demonstrated
that if this is accomplished it must be
done by the master maSOnS. They form
ulated the plan of campaign, and
have asked the kindred trades to
indorse their code of principles
and follow in their footsteps.
The conservative element in both
master masons and carpenters is
composed of these contractors almost en-
tirely dependent upon union labor. In
many cases another protracted strike
means bankruptcy to the. smaller con-
tracing carpenters. Many of the lead
ing master carpenters are owners of
sash, door, blind and planning mills,

Who gave up his life and went bravely out

marched with the soldiers away,
His sweet, childish countenance flushing
like the pink-and-white blossoms of
May.
And then, in the brightest of sunlight, l
stand there all stricken and dumb,
While faint grows the wild storm of music,
the deep thunder-roll of the drum.
But hope whispered words of deception to
cheer as l turned me to go.
God surely would spare, in His mercy, the
boy that my heart worshiped so.
And steadily on through the darkness this
star of belief brightly shone,
While my widowed and orphaned life strug-
gled with poverty's burden alone.
His gay letters came as 1 read them my anx-

Those little white doves always brought me
